This is the best coffee cake I have ever had; home made or bought at a bakery or store.My mother keeps asking me to make her another!!! This is definitely a keeper!! Thanks Hersey's :))

Very simple to make. The only change I made was to roughly mash about 2/3 of a can of Luck's cinnamon fried apples (yielded about 3/4 cup) and use that plus about 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce rather than the 3/4 cup applesauce the receipe called for because I wanted apple bits in the cake. I baked it in a bundt pan for 45 minutes, but I started to check it at 40 minutes.

This is one of the moistest coffee cakes I have ever had. Every time I bring this in to work, it practically flies out of the pan!
